  • See in budget in curry as director and producer full-length documentary

    Good day. 2 questions: What’s a general price range to charge as director and producer of a full length documentary? If any have an itemized budget you can share so I can reference the cost of entire film.
    Documentary is of a professional cyclist. Not much script but including GoPro + footage on the go
    Thank you kindly

    I think most charge a day rate and base the total on the projected number of pre-production, shoot days, and post-production supervision days. Rates for a Director can start at $500 a day and go up into the thousands. Much depends on the specifics of the project.
